All dogs are Canis lupus familiaris (Canis is the genus, lupus is the species, and familiaris is the subspecies). This classification has been used since the 1990s.

Kingdom: Animalae

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Family: Canidae

Genus: Canus

Species: lupus

Subspecies: familiaris

Because purebred dogs come in breeds, you can note the breed at the end, "Breed: Labrador retriever (black)" or "(chocolate)" or "(yellow)." No other colors are possible in Labs.

Before the 1990s, the dog was classified as "Canis domesticus" or "Canis familiaris." The new classification is a scientific acknowledgment that dogs and wolves are actually the same species (Canis lupus), but the dog is a subspecies (familiaris).
